This section of Ormiston Horizon Academy’s website is aimed at helping parents and carers source information to help support young people in their future decisions. Below you will find three helpful sections; information about education options, types of jobs and local opportunities.

OHA Student Careers Pack

CAREERS INFORMATION, ADVICE AND GUIDANCE

In Year 9, Careers Information, Advice and Guidance meetings are focused on ensuring students make the right Post-14 option choices in line with their chosen career.

Types of jobs

Students who have a vision of where they want to be in the future may find it easier to plan their next steps more easily. To help students and parents to get an idea of what types of jobs are out there we would suggest looking at a number of these websites:

LOCAL OPPORTUNITIES

With developments in technology there are now numerous jobs that did not exist 10 years ago (https://www.glassdoor.com/blog/jobs-that-didnt-exist-15-years-ago/). It is important to keep up to date with what is happening locally, nationally and internationally.

In regard to local opportunities in Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire please have a read of the latest Labour Market Information – January-March 2020

Other information

We would like to share a guide to help parents and carers steer their children through the confusing world of careers choices. From university and apprenticeships to work experience and gap years, our guide has it all.
The full guide will be out next academic year – but we wanted to share a preview version to help you as lockdown continues.
